Do your pets have characters/voices that you assign them?

[ziggiestardust]

My cat, for example is an ex Russian spy. Very shady dealings with the garden birds. Terrible accent.

My dog is delightfully stupid, speaks very slowly, misunderstands everything and thinks the best of everyone and everything, including the cat who she routinely and unknowingly hides contraband for from the police.

Yes! We also have a Russian spy cat, she has a novichok lab in her cat cave. Her sister is a bit daft and sounds like Stitch.
The hound likes to invent songs that sound surprisingly like chart hits. If we sing the non-hound version we get called out for plagiarism.

Ddog sounds like the Queen, and asks a LOT of questions!

Oh yes! Our pets have fully fleshed out back stories and their own voices.

😂 at novichok lab

Definitely. They have personalities of course and you can tell what they're thinking a lot of the time so, totally natural thing to do op. 😁
Got a collie who is standard deep voice dopey doh friendly. And a cockerpoo who is highpitched and hyper. She swears a bit.

Oh except when collie is ready to go out, then he's Spanish - Diego Collaron and when he comes home, he's Russian - Alexander Collaroff.

Our rescue Springer is a scouser

Absolutely yes!! I have a Siberian cat, who of course speaks with a Russian accent. She says things like, "look, I av slaughtered ziz mouse. I bring you slaughtered mouse, ok"!

Yes of course! My cats also have their own theme songs, which I sing to them when performing small tasks on their behalf or when I notice they're in the room.

Yes, our Guinea pigs speak with different accents as one is Peruvian the other Abyssinian and they struggle to understand each other with hilarious (to us) consequences.

I also have a spaniel with a very slow dim accent who gets everything wrong. He also follows my husband around continuously saying his name, 'Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave" , when my husband finally asks 'what?', he says, 'oh sorry, I've forgotten', then does it all over again!

I've found my people! Our current cats are a bit boring, very Essex, a lot of 'bruv' and 'mate'. The female likes to talk about hows she's going to murder you in your sleep 😂 One of our previous cats had a lisp and sounded a bit like sid from ice age. We also had a stuck up geordie. My mums cat was very posh and everything was beneath her, she didn't have time for us peasants!

Young female Lab, very Jolly Hockey Sticks, Home Counties accent and wide eyed innocence when told not to do something.

But I allowed on the chair, yes? It is my Right, I believe. Good-oh!

Yes.
And one of the reasons I really love my dad was hearing him, every morning as a teenager while I lay in bed, going downstairs alone and having a conversation with my hamster.
'Good morning, young Hammy. How did you sleep?'
(Squeaky hamster voice): Been up Ll night, I'm afraid'.
'Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Would you like half a grape?'
Etc.

Our last cat was a cockney geezer and always had a dodgy scheme on the go. He was hit by a van a couple of years ago and our working theory is that our current cat pushed him in front of it, since she routinely makes veiled threats to do the same to us.

Our dog speaks like Cartman.

Have got one hoity toity lady cat who says NO a lot in a very headmistressy voice & asks why we don't just kill the dopey boy cat who is "simply ruining my life!"
And the dopey boy cat who just says "me so hungy" to any questions or "yep yep yep yep yep!" when running to his bowl which he does any time we pass within 10 feet of said bowl.

I have 2 ragdolls who both have weird Egyptian/middle eastern accents.

Lady rag doll is 11 and DH thinks she has a deep gravely voice but i'm not sure.

Male raggie is 1 (and a total nut case and i adore him) and he follows me everywhere. He says ''Hello please'' when he jumps up next to me.

One dog can speak, the other one cant, nor the cat

I have a very indecisive Siamese, "Shall I get on your lap...shall I not...oh, I don't really know...." She sounds like Mavis from Coronation Street (if anyone remembers her)

I had a fish who talked like an East end gangster, he was boss fish and wouldn't stand for any argy bargy. My lurcher spoke like Alan Rickman as the sheriff of Nottingham, and would often say "do you mind?" with a haughty look on his face.

DDog occasionally talks very, very fast and shoutily in a sort of 'Mum! Mum! Mum! Mum! way, skidding round corners and bouncing about underneath the roast chicken that's on the worktop, for eg. Mum! Mum! It's chicken! It's the chicken! I'm trying to tell you I want CHICKEN! I can smell it! CHICKEN! It's as though he finds it incredibly frustrating that I am so dim and that if he could only get through to me that I would, of course, lift the entire roast chicken down from the worktop and place it in front of him.

Other times (when I put dogfood in his bowl) he looks up at me sadly, and says I am not an animal... in the voice of the Elephant Man.

I'm loving all of these, by the way. I thought it was just us that were insane.

Absolutely. It would be terribly outing if I said exactly what he does but my cat is very important and has a top job at the BBC. He’s quite successful but doesn’t realise that he got the job through nepotism. He would never have been hired had his twin brother not paved the way with his chat show which he compared for years.

My cat (allegedly deceased) Prune, a Sphynx, regularly does multi billion pound pipeline deals and excels in pissing off Putin. She swans about in private jets and ahas several super yachts in various stages of renovation, usually involving vast amounts of diamonds..
